Agree. I have a ‘96 318i 5sp sitting in the garage, with 50k less miles (and a working odo), none of the issues - a cool $1000 for it. I know there’s an E30 premium, but that’s way too high.

I guess I just don’t understand the boner people have for not running a front plate.

I know it’s a BMW so it drives a premium, even as it approaches its 30s, but I think $1000-$1500 would be more appropriate. The little niggling issues are one thing, but I’m also considering the cost of repairing them. Simply because it’s a BMW the repairs on this car will cost more than the same repairs on a less…

This car has a ton of “it just needs this, or that” issues. Thanks for the clarification but I’m still sticking to CP.

Seriously folks, no body had this up already?

You must live in a rust state. There are plenty of $2500 E30s in my area

I realize this isn’t exactly a track animal, but parroting the license-plate-to-the-side trend (yo!) while covering up a brake cooling duct? Ugh.

I generally like cars with lids.

Sorry, not expecting perfection, but at that price...if it was just the steering rack or just the reached interior I would probably NP it, as is, auto tragic and heavier convertible, a narrow crack pipe loss.

Good customer service means that you never make the customer pay for your screw up. They should have given him the car they promised or equivalent, not ignored his calls. It was after all this that he published his story, and they deserved it. They could have turned a $20k loss on the deal into a plus with the good…

Consider the $20,000 a bug bounty for finding the bug in their sales system. It’s a one-time cost, and would, on balance, be well worth the publicity too.

Gawker media calling foul on an attention getting headline that isn’t quite 100% correct? The irony.

Not even. A dealer would eventually be shamed into honoring their original agreement. I recall all those times a dealer that somehow didn’t understand how eBay works accidentally took a huge loss on a car and then refused to sell it at the sold price. Those almost always work out in the buyer’s favor after someone…

The company probably should have honored the guy’s original deal and spec’d him a car like he wanted and eaten the cost. They made the mistake, took the man’s deposit, and promised him a particular car. Making right on this would have cost, what, $20,000 or so?

Wow...5400 is a full on ripoff. These can be had all day in decent condition for 2 grand. Honestly the only thing nice you’re buying here is the 5 speed. It’s fair, but not a “nice” price. It's not totally a CP either but you can do better cheaper.

Just why. The coupe and sedan Hellcats chassis can’t effectively use that much power, it will be useless on a Jeep.

When a dude in a pickup truck, huge wheels, Mack truck exhaust, rolls-coal, no one automatically groups all pickup drivers into a category and condemns them.

Like the range rover incident the cops were probably in the pack. Don’t want to spoil their own fun.

Beltway huh? Where’s a sniper when you need one.
